mirror equation (definition)
the quantitative relationship between the object distance, the image distance, and the focal length
object distance
do
image distance
di
focal length
f
mirror equation
1/f = 1/do + 1/di
magnification equation (definition)
the ratio of the image distance and object distance to the ratio of the image height and object height
image height
hi
object height
ho
magnification
M
magnification equation
M = hi/ho = -di/do
M = hi/ho hi/ho = -di/do M = -di/do
if f is +, the mirror is ______
concave
if f is -, the mirror is ______
convex
if di is +, the image is ____ and located _____________
real / on the side of the object
if di is -, the image is ______ and located ___________
virtual / behind the mirror
if hi is +, the image is _____ and ______
upright / virtual
